Customer Reviews

Pure pleasure for all
Most of the book is really common sense NLP and other cognitive techniques. The best thing about it is, that it is really simple and truly liberating if you often find yourself exasperated with all the advice thrown at you from all corners. And have a bad memory. The first rule of four is to eat Everything you like, at all times, anywhere IF YOU ARE HUNGRY. And only if.And ENJOY EVERY BITE. So the real focus is learning to sense your inner signals. Learning to slow down, and really taste. Do you just want to change your mood? Then don't eat. Do something else..And adress your underlying motivations. Typically "I'm a failure etc., I won't stick to this" and other cruel selfdiminishing inner dialogues".
I know more than enough about nutrition, and would like to add my own mantra "Is this really nurishing?""Is it really delicious?" (or just lo-cal-carb-bardboard-trash)
As my tastebuds are whimsical the best place to live with this attitude would be in an enormous global delicatessen, but as I don't I just use my mental tastbuds when I buy stuff.
Paul does not mention vitamins etc. I would really advice you to get a test on your levels. My B and D-vitamins was extremely low at my doctors in april 08. and I had 2 bouts of pneumonia. Now I'm happier and much more strong. This advice is targeted at all you with low self esteem, low mood and a tendency to emotional overeating. ENJOY.

Worth suspending disbelief
This book is aimed mostly at fat women who feel disgusted with their bodies, and have serious problems with self-esteem. I am a 64-yr-old man who was never overweight until I gave up smoking, and to be honest I could care less about my appearance. I'm as active and fit as one can be when they're 3 stone overweight. However, there's no doubt that the extra weight affects my energy.

I never would have bothered with Paul McKenna's book had he not been interviewed by James Delingpole, a reasonably hard-headed journalist who reckoned that he's the real deal. Much to my surprise, I've lost 7 pounds in a fortnight--and I haven't even listened to the CD yet. Mostly, it's about chewing your food thoroughly, and learning to avoid 'comfort eating'. It really is effortless. I've dieted before, and to be honest I'd rather be fat than tolerate the endless cravings. Underneath all the blather about NLP (neuro-linguistc programming), there's a lot of solid sense in McKenna's book. There's a lot to be said for good snake-oil salesmen.

THIS REALLY WORKS
Having just purchased McKenna's Change Your life in 10 Days, i gave this book a whirl.
Would you like to eat whatever you want and still lose weight? Not possible (sorry).
Would you like to feel happy with your body? It is possible.
Are you unable to lose those last 2 stone? It is possible.
Do you get disheartened about your eating habits?

Well then, read this bookreview by Dr BeeClarke and save your cash.
Stop eating unhealthy foods; eat fruit and vegetables. Quit the booze. Cycle to work everyday; go for a walk after dinner every evening instead of watching BB or Eastenders. Do not go to the Gym. Going to the Gym is a waste of time and it is full of delusional people who believe that a trip to the Gym will result in weight loss. Hard exercise results in weight loss.

Do what I do: jog to the Supermarket instead of driving, and carry your shopping home. You'd be amazed how much exercise you can do if you avoid using your car or public transport. Jog to University or work (fit people do not sweat). Jog to your friends house. In life you can choose between suffering and boredom. You can suffer (run/jog) or you can choose boredom (sit and watch TV while stuffing yourfatface with choc). Its your choice.

There you go. I have just given you the template for losing weight. Its easy but extremly boring, but its worth it. I have now re-patterned your thoughts, attitudes and beliefs about yourself and your exercise. There you go my fatlittle friends, it's not much fun, is it?

Selah,
DR. Bee Clarke.
